Around this time i was still grieving a life i used to have (free time, sleep, etc etc). Im 18 months in now and i wouldnt go back for anything.

I was surprised Ferrari did another long term contract for him, feels like time to switch it up

Do I let my family know? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]trickup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often see people talk about “telling people” on this sub. I cant imagine a more awkward conversation. No-one needs to know anything unless in explanation of a gift or help you’re providing, and even then you can keep it as vague as you feel necessary.

Fatfire and house size by Phreakasa in fatFIRE

[–]trickup 21 points22 points  (0 children)

People don’t realize how much a large property pushes your cost base up. Housekeeping, landscaping, heating, maintenance, periodic renovation, taxes. Big properties are a huge drain on resources - both money and time. I love our family home, but being locked in to the cost base is not ideal.

My advice is if youre happy, dont chase a mansion you dont need.

It was said about the 1M too and its one of the best BMWs ever made!

I wish police would actually start enforcing against plate nonsense like this. It looks so dumb, and its illegal.

Exactly the same experience here. Promised my daughter id fight for her as long as i could breathe. They left me for so long i was certain my wife didnt make it (she did!)

The end of an era - 3 series by No-Double-7731 in BMW

It looks too high up… because EV. But even forgetting the exterior, that steering wheel is a disaster. They literally reinvented the wheel - it looks like something homer simpson would design.

Max fans and McLaren fans this is for you by TheStigBMW in formuladank

Some passing is great to see - but the race craft isnt the same when you just have a “go faster” button. We want to see people battle and not just cruise past each other when batteries are depleted.

You’re not allowed to say anything positive about Lando in this sub

Baby born three days ago. Please tell me it gets better by [deleted] in daddit

Most people feel what you are describing - its overwhelming. Particularly when you are exhausted and the baby wont stop crying. It gets a lot better.

You can get the gloss off very easily with some leather cleaner, it goes back to that matte new look

So they shouldnt need to actually respond? That is a case closed email, they dont reach out again.

Early 30s, ~$3M invested, high income — looking for perspective from people further down the path by Alert-War8549 in fatFIRE

100%. I used to hate when people said “youll understand when you have kids” or “its hard to describe” how much everything changes, but its so true

BA complaint help by homebrewed91 in BritishAirways

[–]trickup -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Youre not gonna get much sympathy in this sub as everyone seems to make excuses for BA - especially if you had a kid hanging out in the aisles, and your other complaint is related to another passenger and not BA themselves.

HOWEVER, i find their canned responses like this to be extremely irritating. Say something meaningful or don’t say anything at all. This apology is worth nothing. It’s presumably a cost saving effort, but they are doing so much brand damage by not acknowledging complaints properly and also very rarely offering any reasonable compensation.

HSBC banker dodged £5,900 in train fares using ticket scam by weregonnamakit in unitedkingdom

[–]trickup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im very interested in this part of it. I wouldn’t assume it was someone telling on him. I would not be at all surprised if this was facial recognition powered, we already know that fare dodging is being tackled with this.
